I don't really think this kind of pretentious gatekeeping is helpful or welcoming. The works of both Spielberg and Tarkovsky are worth watching. I'd go so far as to state that a true film "fan" appreciates both high-brow and popular cinema. There's no such thing as a "guilty" pleasure if you truly enjoy something.

>I don't really think this kind of pretentious gatekeeping is helpful or welcoming. No, but it's culture-building. "Everything goes" seldom builds any great appreciation, it just makes everything a big interchangeable blob. >The works of both Spielberg and Tarkovsky are worth watching. Well, that's not some natural law. It's just an expression of a specific cultural norm.
